Candles have been used in spiritual practices for centuries and are often seen as symbols of the elements, the divine, and the inner self. The colors, shapes, and scents of candles can also be used to correspond to different intentions and energies, making them a versatile tool for spiritual practice.
In candle magic, the practitioner typically chooses a candle that corresponds to their intention or desired outcome, and then inscribes or anoints the candle with oils, herbs, or other materials that are associated with that intention. The candle is then lit and the practitioner focuses their intention and energy on their desired outcome while the candle burns.
As the candle burns, it is believed that the energy and intention of the practitioner is released into the universe, helping to manifest the desired outcome. Some practitioners may also use the flame of the candle for divination or other spiritual practices.
Candle magic can be practiced alone or as part of a larger spiritual practice or ritual. It’s important to approach any spiritual practice with respect and a clear intention, and to use your own intuition and beliefs when choosing candles, oils, and other materials for your practice.
